Hi,

Some small changes to the IPR boilerplate. You have some time before you 
MUST use the new boilerplate, but I suggest you start to cut over now.

> A small update to BCP 78 was recently approved by the IESG as

> Starting as soon as reasonably possible, all authors of Internet-

> Editor will in any case be inserting it in all RFCs issued from
> 2006-11-01. (The rights held by ISOC in older RFCs will be

> XML2RFC version 1.32 will generate the new boilerplate.
> Users of I-D templates are requested to update them appropriately.

> http://www.ietf.org/ID-Checklist.html and
